Occupy Whiteness is a collection of hybrid erasure poems from inaugural Dallas Poet Laureate and multiworld slam competition winner Joaqun Zihuatanejo.Starting from longform works of literature by straight, white men, Joaqun Zihuatanejo occupies their pages, erasing words and sections, leaving only his poetry behind the white space that remains becoming colonized Brown verse. Occupy Whiteness is an act of rebellion that reclaims spaces and highlights a history of erasure of Brown life.An unflinching look at the present day, the collection is haunted and blessed by the image of ancestors who braved the river and desert to travel into border states for the opportunity of freedom. These are poems meant to agitate and create unease, to make the reader realize that neither their author nor the immigrant children he describes are Other. Through poems and interspersed photography from the border, Zihuatanejo poignantly depicts this equally beautiful and brutal place we call home.
